Crowds can no longer gather but art sales break records

Globally the fine art industry demonstrates how it is not prepared to let a real crisis go to waste, says Des O'Sullivan

Francis Bacon's 'Triptych inspired by the Oresteia of Aeschylus' sold for €84.6 million at a Sotheby's live-streamed auction.

Do you sell in a pandemic? Various record-breaking sales would strongly suggest that at this stage in the evolution of the market there is little reason to hold back. 

In 2020, where all innovations in the market have been technical, new records have not been in short supply.
